Kinabalu Park

First of all, i am still new in this blog..hmm...The important thing is that, im here to complete the task that given by my lecturer Ms. freda to list and elaborate@ comment within 5 attracted places in order to contribute 20% mark for our Communication skill 1. Anyway, i chosed to picked the places in Sabah because i think that, as a malaysian we should put our own country in the 1st place rather than others. For me, i would prefer to chosed Sabah as we knew that, Sabah or Malaysia in the other words has now proclaimed to be the best travelling for nature lovers.

As we all knows that, Kinabalu Park is strategically locating in the state of Sabah on the northern and ends in the islands of the Borneo. As for the tourist, this is the place where registration is being taken in order to climb the Mt. Kinabalu with its height of 4095M which is known to be the highest mountain between the himalayas and New Guinea. As for your the information that i managed to collect, the manager of Mt. Kinabalu which is Sutera Sanctuary Lodges has now only promoting the 3D2N Mt. Kinabalu Climb instead of 2D1N Mt. Kinabalu Climb. Besides that, the price has also risen to MYR800.00-MYR1000.00 per person.

As you all can see, this is the example picture that was being taken from distance of Mt. Kinabalu. In order for everyone to climb the mountain, you have to be fit and tough enough physically and mentally ready. This climb normally will only allows you to climb within 2 days to reach the Low's Peak. HOwever, the 1st day you will be staying at Kinabalu Park area for your own leisure time, the 2nd day you will be climb 1600M to reach at the base camp which we call it as Laban Rata Resthouse. The final day, you are asked to wake up as early as 0300hrs to start your climb to the summit.

Most of the climbers prefer to stay overnight in this resthouse as it offers you with the only heated room available as non to the rest. Apart from that, canteen are also available in this resthouse itself.

Apart from that, Kinabalu Park is also well known towards the "Botanical Garden".

This 5 acre is an excellent showcase of the diverse plant life on the mountain, The flora from all over the park has been replanted. Apart from that, many of the plants are not only lovely to look upon but they have medical value too. Those plant has been proven by the local Dusun community also.
